What Does an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon Do?

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons are specialists with advanced training and expertise in diagnosing and treating various head and neck conditions and injuries. After four years of dental school, an Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon completes four to six years of additional formal training in treating the craniomaxillofacial complex. This specialty is one of 9 dental specialties recognized internationally and by the American Dental Association (ADA).

Which Oral Health Conditions Call for Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery?

An Oral Maxillofacial Surgeon can diagnose and treat a wide variety of conditions. The following are just some of the many conditions, treatments, and procedures oral and maxillofacial surgeons are trained to handle:

  • TMJ, Facial Pain, & Facial Reconstruction
  • Dental Implants
  • Tooth Extractions & Impacted Teeth
  • Wisdom Teeth
  • Misaligned Jaws
  • Cleft Lip & Palate
  • Apicoectomy
  • Oral Cancers, Tumors, Cysts, & Biopsies
  • Sleep Apnea
  • Facial Cosmetic Surgery

Can an Oral Surgeon Help with an Impacted Tooth?

Yes! Impacted teeth occur when a tooth cannot grow through the gum line due to overcrowding or a jawbone anomaly. These are some of the most common conditions addressed by oral surgeons. There are three types of impactions:

  • Soft Tissue Impaction: The upper portion of the tooth (the crown) has penetrated through the bone, but the gingiva (gum) covers part or all of the tooth’s crown and has not been positioned properly around the tooth. Because it is difficult to keep the area clean, food can become trapped below the gum and cause an infection and/or tooth decay, resulting in pain and swelling.
  • Partial Bony Impaction: The tooth has partially erupted, but a portion of the crown remains submerged below the gum and surrounding jawbone. Again, because it is difficult to keep the area clean, the infection will commonly occur.
  • Complete Bony Impaction: The tooth is completely encased by the jawbone. This will require more complex removal techniques.

What Are the Benefits of Getting Oral or Maxillofacial Surgery?

Whether you need to correct your jaw alignment, address facial injuries, or resolve complex oral health issues, our specialized surgery services at Beechnut Dental Care provide transformative results that restore your smile and improve your quality of life. Our gentle and personalized approach, combined with cutting-edge technology, offers the following benefits that make a lasting difference in your oral health and confidence:

Restore Functionality

Jaw or oral health problems or injuries can make it challenging to do everyday actions, like eating and speaking. You may have trouble breaking down food, swallowing, or speaking clearly. Oral and maxillofacial surgery can help restore oral functionality by aligning the jaw, replacing missing teeth, and resolving oral health concerns.

Enhanced Appearance

If your appearance has changed due to an injury, a condition you were born with, missing teeth, or another oral condition, oral and maxillofacial surgery can enhance your face and jaw’s appearance, so you can feel like yourself and feel more confident.

Prevent Future Complications

Oral and maxillofacial surgery can address a wide range of problems, including impacted teeth, jaw misalignment, and missing teeth. This can help maintain your jawbone health and resolve issues early to prevent future complications and protect your oral health.

Boost Confidence

If your oral health condition causes you to hide your smile or other facial features in photos or prevents you from making genuine connections with others, oral and maxillofacial surgery can help with facial trauma and reconstruction, boosting your confidence.
